A sign that a technology is mature is its ability to be mass-produced.

Captain America's actions were for the sake of the plot. In the Cyber Test Site, whenever a "Super Captain" was pointed out, ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even an army of one hundred thousand would follow.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Arasaka's technology level was so high.

Simply cloning a physical body isn't that difficult; the real technical challenge lies in 'combat memory,' or rather, combat experience.

This thing isn't like ordinary memory, where you can just copy and paste. There's a theory that memories from life-or-death battles not only form muscle memory but can even modify the 'soul' at a microscopic level.

That's pretty mystical.

If this thing isn't made well, ten Rogers will just be ten weaklings with superhuman physiques, and they might not even be able to come up with 'carbon-based fusion'.

Rebirth of a Financial Tycoon

But it's clear that these ten Rogers are on the same level as the Roger who died. The 'carbon-based fusion' unfolds simultaneously, and the berserk biological energy is frantically squeezing the engineer's aura.

"Is that awesome?"

Looking at the same shield and that strange "connection mode," the senior engineer understood.

"I see, motion-sensing sharing... So this technology for making porn can be used like this? Arasaka's got some skills!"

The next moment, ten shields were thrown out like lightning. At the same time, the engineer pulled them apart from a distance, and the giant wall of flesh and blood became a Great Wall of flesh and blood, suddenly turning a corner and blocking the ten shield attacks.

However, with ten Rogers competing on the same stage, they could create all sorts of amazing effects with just their shields. In remote control mode, the ten shields became ten rings, fitting together perfectly to form a ten-ring serrated edge with a diameter of nearly ten meters. With a fierce slash, the giant carpet of flesh was cleaved in two.

However, taking advantage of this moment, the senior engineer had already appeared a hundred meters away, pressed down with both hands, and in an instant, flesh and blood covered the ground.

"Try this trick!"

The radiation field unfolded, and began to violently absorb the radiation energy of this icy and snowy wasteland.

Centered around the senior engineer, an ice storm began to take shape.

On the fleshy carpet, hundreds and thousands of holes appeared, and energy began to shine from each coin-sized hole.

The next moment, thousands of energy rays crisscrossed, and each super soldier was surrounded by at least a hundred particle beams.

Energy Shot (Advanced Talent): Attack power guaranteed at 3000, comparable to the pseudo-energy weapons of the Bio-engineered Armor or large robots.

Even with top-notch combat skills and superhuman talent, they could only dodge up to 90% of the dense laser beams. They could then use their shields to block the remaining 90%, but the residual energy still struck their bodies hard, each beam causing at least 3,000 points of damage.

In an instant, all the "Super Captains" were in a state of minor injury.

"How about one more move?"

The senior engineer ripped the air apart with both palms, and in the next instant, the energy rays he shot out transformed into an invisible energy field, indiscriminately covering the entire giant carpet of flesh and blood.

Particle Disruption Field (Master): Creates a large AOE field that disrupts all energy structures and disturbs the activity of all ordinary particles within the field.

All the super captains were frozen in place, allowing the raging energy tide to drain away large amounts of their health.

Ten sonic booms rang out in succession, and the senior engineer appeared in mid-air, punching one of the "Rogers".

The pressure at the genetic level rendered the other party unable to move once again.

One punch is thrown, followed by ten more.

The ferocious attack tore the super captain to pieces.

"Gene killing" is the nemesis of these "clones".

[You have killed the "Powerful Gang of Nine". Experience +50,000, Specialization +1, Skill Points +3, Random Blueprint +1]

The next moment, the senior engineer appeared in another place and, following the same pattern, blasted another super captain to pieces.

[You have killed the "Powerful Gang of Nine". Experience +50,000, Specialization +1, Skill Points +3, Random Blueprint +1]

The three "yellow birds" were dumbfounded.

"It seems there's not much difference from before," Chappie said in a strange tone.

Hitting one and hitting ten seem to be the same thing.

The collider swallowed a mouthful of gasoline saliva and fell silent.

The last person who was this awesome was Captain Motoko.

The engineer who had blasted the second super captain landed, looked at his bio-energy which was mostly depleted, and took a deep breath.

"Try this trick again."

The next moment, writhing flesh engulfed the two corpses.

This time, the S-rank talent 'Flesh and Blood Carpet' activated its ability to devour everything.

Within moments, the carbon-based fused corpse was completely digested.

The senior engineer's bioenergy and blood volume were replenished by 10,000 and 1,000 respectively.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, as if he had noticed or absorbed something at a microscopic level.

[You have mastered the S-rank talent 'Flesh and Blood Fusion']

Flesh and blood fusion: Anything that exists at the genetic level can be "eaten" by you and then transformed into your own.

[You have mastered the second-tier skill - Solidified Energy]

Even after being devoured by two Super Captains by the High Engineer, the surviving Roger showed no emotional change, or rather, no emotions were implanted into him.

They continued to use all their abilities, their shields breaking the sound barrier and slamming into the senior engineer from multiple directions. They even formed several tactical squads, intending to engage in close combat and rely on their synchronized combos to kill the senior engineer.

The senior engineer was momentarily stunned, as if he had entered a special state. In the next instant, his hands shot out like lightning, catching two beams of energy particles. Under the action of his hands, the two beams of energy particles were directly "broken" and turned into two glowing energy spears.

Solidified Energy: Recombines radioactive energy particles into a melee weapon, dealing double damage.

The next moment, the mechanical magic was unleashed. The two spears, one like a venomous snake and the other like a flying dragon, combined their power and sent a super captain flying. The spear tips left unhealable wounds on the shield.

The greatest strength of energy weapons is not actually the damage they inflict, but the permanent loss they cause, which is something that kinetic energy weapons cannot match.

Four "Rogers" blocked the senior engineer from all sides, but the senior engineer remained fearless and even gave a strange smile, as countless "pheromone snakes" invisible to the naked eye shot out.

Pheromones Venomous Snake Max (Master's Proof): The human body is the den, and the gene chain is the snake's body. Through the reverse secretion of pheromones, you will continuously produce biochemical viruses. The number of 'pheromone viruses' you can produce depends on the number of advanced genes you have.

This is no ordinary 'pheromone venomous snake,' but a super venomous snake that is a mixture of hundreds of gene fragments and is further enhanced by 'gene killing.'

Being bitten by this invisible snake could indeed be fatal.

Before he knew it, a shield was shattered, and the next moment, invisible venomous snakes swarmed in and drained Roger dry.

[You have absorbed the genes of 'Super Captain', HP +300 (permanent), Strength +5 (permanent)]

The same move cannot be used a second time in front of a Saint.

This statement also applies to senior engineers.

With the blessing of "gene killing", the pheromone snake becomes a pheromone python with a mortality rate of up to 70%, basically a state where one will die as soon as one is touched.

Soon, two more "Rogers" were killed by the senior engineer, which increased the senior engineer's health by 400, stamina by 5, and agility by 3.

Even the Scarlet Queen doesn't have this kind of bugged ability: devouring enemies and gaining permanent enhancements.

The long-awaited "system notification" finally rang out.

[Please select your biological evolution path: Crimson Bloodline, Intermediate Energy Symbiote, Radiation Prince]

Crimson Bloodline: All your Crimson Plug-in Skills +20%, Body Fusion +30%, with the added status effect, Species Enslavement.

Intermediate Energy Symbiote: Your energy skills +30%, species compatibility +50%, energy release efficiency +30%.

Prince of Radiation: Your energy skill +40%, nuclear fission speed +50%, additional status: Complete Energy Body

After a quick glance, the senior engineer chose the second option without hesitation.

The reason is simple: with the addition of the mechanical system's "species adaptability," the high-tech engineer's species adaptability reached an astonishing "130%."

This means that even species of the same level, or those from different civilizations, can be completely integrated by senior engineers.

This kind of physique is something that only a few alien species in the universe can achieve.

This is also one of the strongest talents of carbon-based species: "Promiscuity".

[Your biological system modification rate has reached 75% max, exceeding the level 20 modification cap. Please upgrade before modifying again.]

[The next phase of biomodification will cover 50% of the space.]

"Can you feel that the ice storm has become more powerful?" the collider couldn't help but ask.

If the three of them could still make out Roger and the senior engineer's figures during the ice storm just now, now there is only a vast expanse of white snow.

"Unit 1".

"Number One can't detect it. The radiation here has reached the level of a nuclear explosion, and it's not an ordinary fire nuclear explosion, but an ice nuclear explosion."

"This is a very rare form of nuclear fission, which only occurs in special environments, creating terrifying extreme cold that engulfs everything. Generally speaking, only special super-organisms can spew out this special low-temperature, high-pressure ion gas."

"Make us wear radiation protection suits."

"Okay, Sister Tong."

The next moment, invisible anti-radiation gas was released and formed a special protective film on the three people.

The three of them landed as well and walked forward. They soon saw the corpse of Roger, frozen in blue ice. Tong wanted to analyze the corpse, but the collider grabbed his arm and shook his head with a solemn expression.

This was the first time Tong had ever seen this guy make such an expression.

Soon, one corpse after another appeared. Even with the radiation protection film, Tong could still feel as if caterpillars were crawling on some parts of his body.

He glanced at Chappie and noticed that Chappie's expression was very abnormal, with an astonishing blush on his face.

Seeing that Tong was looking over, he gritted his teeth and forced out four words.

"Gene suppression".

Are there any living creatures in this frozen world?

The answer is yes; strands of flesh and blood slide across the ice, resembling blood-red amber.

The further they went, the stronger the storm became, forcing the collider to step forward and shield the two non-melee fighters from the storm.

"Hmm, I see it."

Amidst the wind and snow, a figure stood, resembling an ice statue, yet his movements were anything but ice-like.

He gripped the back of the neck with his palm, tearing the flesh apart, and grasped the mechanical spine. The flesh and blood were splitting along the spine, and the mechanical body seemed to be undergoing a very special transformation within its body.

With a powerful pull from the senior engineer, a massive spinal mechanical sword was drawn out with a clang. The sword was a meter wide, not to mention its complex and heavy mechanical structure.

"Oh, it actually works! It's truly my signature weapon!"

Even the senior engineer himself was astonished.

There were actually two things that surprised him.

First, the two S-level talents, 'Flesh and Blood Giant Carpet' and 'Flesh and Blood Fusion', can actually create a small nuclear winter.

Second, after the two 75% max life systems merged, the senior engineer suddenly discovered that he seemed to be able to undergo a deeper level of transformation.

Then he changed.

His natal mechanical greatsword was pulled out alive.

Name:??

Category: Mechanical Greatsword

Quality: Level 2 - Cutting-Edge Technology

Weight: 152.8kg

Basic attributes:???

Additional attributes:???

Plugin bar:??

Note: You created this yourself, but you don't know how to use it?

"I really don't know."

The senior engineer pondered for a moment and said, "Since you were transformed from a mechanical system, let's call you Mechanical Crack. I hope neither you nor I will end up like this planet."

The next moment, the senior engineer waved his sword lightly, and energy beams shot out from the "Machine-Splitting Greatsword," shattering the ice layer. He pulled out the military machine and, with a few swift strokes, chopped off the corpse in the middle.

[You have killed "Heavy Hammer David". Experience +65000, Specialization +1, Skill Points +5, Random Blueprint +1, Reputation +500]

[You have obtained a Tier 2 single-unit equipment - military aircraft]

It's clear that Hammer is significantly stronger than Roger, but what good is strength if his opponent's performance is far inferior to Roger's in a radiation field?

The senior engineer, dragging a military aircraft with one hand and carrying a super giant sword at least 3 meters long on his back with the other, turned around and said with a meaningful expression:

"Are you here to help me, or to kill me?"

Even after the battle ended, the lingering aura remained terrifying, as if the three of them were facing an overwhelming horde of beasts.

"Hahaha, Master, what are you saying? Of course we're here to help you. I was the one who stopped those two brats from messing with you, but unfortunately, I couldn't. How about I show you the video?"

"No need for that," the senior engineer looked up and found that the Level 8 aircraft in the sky had already entered unmanned mode and driven away; otherwise, he would have really made a fortune this time.

Tong hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when he was stopped by the senior engineer.

"Excuse me, just a moment, let me take on a task."

A mission? He has a superior!?

"Beep beep—"

[You have triggered the 'Job Change Quest']

[Task: Job Change]

Difficulty: Unknown

Mission Briefing: Complete a full combat transformation.

This is probably the simplest task the senior engineer has ever encountered.

But this is a transformation!

Transformation and shapeshifting are not the same. Shapeshifting is a change in form, while transformation is a change at the level of bloodline.

And we can't be like in 'The Fugitive's Game', where we only think about the beginning and not the end.

You must first complete the transformation, and then transform back.

This is a complete battle transformation.
